An Akaike information criterion for multiple event mixture cure models
We derive the proper form of the Akaike information criterion for variable selection for mixture cure models, which are often fit via the expectation-maximization algorithm. Separate covariate sets may be used in the mixture components. The selection criteria are applicable to survival models for right-censored data with multiple competing risks and allow for the presence of an insusceptible gr...
متن کاملExtending the Akaike Information Criterion to Mixture Regression Models
We examine the problem of jointly selecting the number of components and variables in finite mixture regression models. We find that the Akaike information criterion is unsatisfactory for this purpose because it overestimates the number of components, which in turn results in incorrect variables being retained in the model. Therefore, we derive a new information criterion, the mixture regressio...
متن کاملAn improved Akaike information criterion for state-space model selection
Following the work of Hurvich, Shumway, and Tsai (1990), we propose an “improved” variant of the Akaike information criterion, AICi, for state-space model selection. The variant is based on Akaike’s (1973) objective of estimating the Kullback-Leibler information (Kullback 1968) between the densities corresponding to the fitted model and the generating or true model. The development of AICi proc...
متن کاملAn Assumption for the Development of Bootstrap Variants of the Akaike Information Criterion in Mixed Models
This note provides a proof of a fundamental assumption in the verification of bootstrap AIC variants in mixed models. The assumption links the bootstrap data and the original sample data via the log-likelihood function, and is the key condition used in the validation of the criterion penalty terms. (See Assumption 3 of both Shibata, 1997, and Shang and Cavanaugh, 2007.) To state the assumption,...
متن کاملExponential Smoothing and the Akaike Information Criterion
Using an innovations state space approach, it has been found that the Akaike information criterion (AIC) works slightly better, on average, than prediction validation on withheld data, for choosing between the various common methods of exponential smoothing for forecasting. There is, however, a puzzle. Should the count of the seed states be incorporated into the penalty term in the AIC formula?...
